More than 30 years of writing and editing have taught me that effective written communication begins long before the first word. It begins with accurate and detailed perception, whether of an event or one’s own thoughts. This perception then is related with precision, which is created using the tools of semantics, syntax, punctuation and grammar. My work as a daily newspaper editor and as senior writer in corporate public affairs and marketing departments have provided the opportunity to mentor countless young writers in this approach.
Sharing what I’ve learned about writing has been the most gratifying aspect of my work over all these years. I’ve learned that lecturing or directing is an ineffective, if not counterproductive, method of teaching. Rather, I prefer to help the student reach the same conclusions I have through questioning him or her, first about perceptions and then a ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

I am currently a medical student at the University of Minnesota Medical School Duluth. Before I started medical school I worked as a tutor for six years with two teenage boys with autism. Under the six years of my tutoring, both of these "disabled" kids were completely mainstreamed and even taking some AP and challenge classes. I believe that any kid can learn if they are taught in a way that is fun and structured. I tutored these kids in Math, Science, Social Studies and English. I also spent a semester as a Teaching Assistant in an upper level Philosophy course during my undergrad. Most of my TA tutoring was helping college students write papers.
I tend to teach things in a visual way. Drawing pictures, diagrams and using visual aides are the best ways I have witnessed to teach kids. I also think a structured reward system is HUGE in motivating kids to succeed. You need to find o ... read more

I am currently working as the accounting manager of a manufacturing plant with over 160 employees. I have additional experience in construction and personal business ownership. I have helped people incorporate and have written 501(c)3 applications for non-profit organizations. I am the church treasurer and on the board of directors and I am a chair on the fund raising committee for Duluth Vaxjo Soccer Exchange program. My background in accounting covers the simple to the complex, including non profit, payroll and taxes.
I first realized how different people learn when my own children were young. My son is gifted and learns in pictures, if he doesn't understand something right away, I had to find a way to relate it to his world whereas my daughter learns by doing. While in college I was the only team member with an accounting background, three of my classmates aligned their schedule ... read more

A Little Bit About Me...

As University of Minnesota Duluth graduate, I excelled in studies of math, physics, logic, critical thinking, and accounting. I earned two degrees: Bachelor of Accounting and Associate of Arts. I received a high excellence grade in math and physics courses and was preselected by math instructors to tutor any math course through Calculus I and to grade Calculus I and Math for Elementary School Teachers. In addition, I illustrated outstanding knowledge of English grammar skills.
I enjoy working with children. My volunteering experience with children at Grant Elementary gave me opportunity to realize how much I enjoy teaching. I believe that any child can meet his or her potential if he or she is given proper direct approach. I am also a mother of fourteen-year-old, eight-year-old, and one-year-old. These diversified children age groups allow me to have a clear understanding of educat ... read more
